Build Before You Burn Out — Chris Davis on What Startups Keep Getting Wrong About Tech
What does it really take to build a tech startup that scales — and how do you avoid the costly mistakes most founders make? In this episode, I sit down with Chris Davis, a seasoned startup operator, strategist, and former CEO of multiple venture-backed companies, to talk through the gritty, unglamorous parts of launching a tech business that actually works.
From his early years navigating sports tech and recruiting startups to his current role at Intucia Labs, Chris has helped dozens of founders move from vision to viable product — without wasting months (or millions) trying to reinvent what already exists.
Chris shares:
We also get into the real conversations founders need to have with investors, why many MVPs are built backwards, and how to avoid becoming the startup that hemorrhages cash because the backend is a mess.
🎯 Key Takeaways:
Whether you’re a non-technical founder figuring out product for the first time, or you’re ready for a second shot at building it right — this episode gives you a framework to think smarter and build faster.
